Support for Alternative Layouts
This is a summary of how alternative layouts have been supported by kits such as Colevrak and Homing. It is not a discussion of alt layout performance and development, but if that interests you I highly recommend starting with Pascal Getreuer’s A guide to alt keyboard layouts (why, how, which one?). It’s a concise and comprehensive overview with links to some great sites that go deeper. He also has a separate Links about keyboards page. The Keyboard layouts doc he recommends explains layout goals and metrics in detail, summarizing the alt layouts discussed here as well as more than one hundred others. Sculpted-profile The majority of custom keycap sets are sculpted-profile (Cherry, SA, MT3, KAT, etc. - more on profiles generally here) so let’s start there. Because each row has a unique keycap shape, alt layouts require a unique keycap for each legend that moves off its QWERTY row. At first there were two The Dvorak layout was patented in 1936 by August Dvorak & William L....

Polymer clay
Don't drop crazy cash on custom wood builds! Instead go buy polymer clay and paint. Then you can spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to make it look like you can afford to drop crazy cash on...

I'm not sure what you're using it for, but I was able to type over 150 wpm with the Noppoo, about 20 wpm faster than with my Cherry MX Brown keyboard. I assume some of that is the faster rebound time. That by itself makes it 100x better than a rubber dome!
When I first bought a red keyboard I hated it because I never knew if the key press actually registered and thought I should have bought a brown but the brown is so rare where I live. I lived with red for a while until I started to like it as I don't really have to bottom out. Later I got a chance to get a Ducky Mini but only blue was available so I gave it a try and I still don't really like the blue not because it clicks but I feel that blue is too heavy especially when I have to use my pinky to press the key.
So now I just wait and see if I will like this Topre clone more than MX red. I'm glad to hear that it's not just better but 100x better than a rubber dome and either I give the rubber dome away or I let it sit in the corner of my room and collect dust.
It would be more accurate to compare it to a rubber dome/membrane keyboard in fact, because that's what Topre is closest to. You could draw vague comparisons from a Cherry brown to 45G Topre, or perhaps even a Cherry red. And yet even closer still would be a rubberdome/membrane board.
That's why i like Topre in fact, exactly because that's what it feels similar too.
To me, the difference between Topre Type Heaven, a Topre "clone" RK, and even a good quality rubber dome feel similar enough.
So unless you are a hard core typing enthusiast, or are really really picky about the feel, there isn't that much of a difference to bother toiling over it, even as i did. I am however glad i got the 55G though. 45 would have been too light.
That being said though the Type Heaven is the best feeling board i have typed on, the name is befitting of it.but the difference is still small.
So unless you were asking specifically what is the best feeling board i have typed on, then i would recommend the RK considering the Rk in reality blows the others away when adding in the rest of the features.
Rk Rc930 for it's market,... It's it's own market. Fully programmable 104 key or 87 key, superb rgb backlit, or not option, double shot abs, or lasered pom keycap option, with onboard memory that is oh, also mx keycap compatible.
They raised the bar on every True Topre and Topre clone in the market. And yes it feels like Topre, just like other Topre feels to other Topre,... similar.
How can you compare a 104 key abs 55G Topre Clone to a Real Topre that doesn't even have a 55G 104 Key , or even one that has variable weighted keys? What's the standard here anyway?
Also to mention The RK doesn't look like it does in the pics in person. It doesn't look shiny sparkly grey but more like a silky black. That is a really bright spotlight making it look like that, in normal light and even in indirect sunlight it looks metallic/silky black, or dark black in low light.
I really like the tactile feeling from rubber dome, and prefer RD over any linear MX switch, so I'm hoping that the RC930 still has some pop to it.
